Retired CSU, Chico Art Historian Dolores Mitchell will lecture prior to an OLLI bus trip to the de Young Museum in San Francisco in February. Enjoy TWO blockbuster colorists – Claude Monet and Paul Gauguin – in TWO exhibits in one afternoon visit. During his late years, the well-traveled Monet stayed close to home, inspired by the variety of elements making up his own garden at Giverny. “Monet: the Late Years” features paintings from Monet’s garden, where he depicted flowerbeds, a Japanese Bridge, and watery reflections of willows and wisteria. “Gauguin: a Spiritual Journey,” showcases more than 50 paintings, wood carvings, and ceramics from Copenhagen, plus the Oceanic art that inspired him. Gauguin, who fled European civilization to become a “savage” in the South Seas, used color to express his intense feelings that were beyond words.
